Quote: "The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all."
Appearance: Kaira is an impressive 6' tall, slender and slightly chubby. She thinks her butt's too big, but in reality, she has some damn nice curves that most men quickly notice. Rich red hair to her waist, paired with intelligent hazel eyes, gives her a noticeable appearance along with those curves, and she keeps it braided most of the time so as to be out of the way. She loves being outdoors on her days off, and has a faint tan, though being naturally red haired she also has a boatload of freckles spread over her cheeks, nose and shoulders, as well as down her arms. She tends towards scrubs, but also favors more feminine clothing, long, flowing skirts and tunic shirts, things that are light and feel good against her skin. Those skirts also hide the fact she is missing most of one leg, due to a serious Hatching Day incident that would have killed her if not for its removal.
Personality: Compassionate and protective, Kaira loves kids, and will protect them with her very life. She is highly intelligent and hardworking, and this trait led to her becoming a fully trained pediatrician within an astoundingly short space of time, a job she had yet to begin when the crash occurred. A bit self-conscious about her appearance, she isn't sure if she's found attractive or not, especially when it comes to when she's in scrubs. She knows she shouldn't worry about it, but as most good females, she does. Fiery and able to speak her mind when it comes to things she's passionate about, she is also quirky enough that sometimes, she won't speak out when it comes to something most would expect her to. She enjoys the oddity to her nature, but at the same time, it doesn't come out too often really.
History Kaira was born Kevin Michael, to Janice and Darion of the west coast, specifically, Oregon. As he grew, Kevin began feeling an odd aversion to the classic male clothing, though he adored blue and green as colors. At the age of five, he told his mother he wanted to be a princess for Halloween, and though she was confused, she didn't argue, although she did ask him to compromise. He was allowed to be a princess, but a warrior princess, with leggings and chain shirt instead of the classic princess ballgown. After that point, he was always something female for halloween, and began wearing his hair longer, to his midback generally. He also took to occasionally wearing dresses to school, though he was smart enough to know better.
When he was in seventh grade his mother and father finally accepted that they did not have a son, but a daughter trapped in a son's body, and did everything they could to help him transition smoothly from young man to young woman. They began calling him Kaira, his chosen name, and bought him clothing for girls rather than boys. His hair his mother took to styling to give it a more feminine appearance, and soon Kaira was accepted for what she was, despite not having undergone the gender change as yet. When she turned sixteen, that was begun for her, after therapy to be sure this was what she truly wanted. She was given hormones to encourage female growth, and after her twenty-third birthday, underwent surgery to be truly female.
She was in heaven, thrilled to finally be what she had always known, and continued her training as a doctor even through it. Highly intelligent, she became Dr. Kaira Adina when she turned 24, finishing all the schooling in a remarkably swift time frame, and she was drafted as one of the instructors for NASA's Space Camp for the next year shortly thereafter, to teach the students how to react should something happen and they needed medical knowledge.
Little did she know the chaos that would ensue only months later...
"It's a black hole!"
It couldn't be... The closest black hole was at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, not here by Earth! Kaira watched the blackness as it came ever closer, hearing the panicked screams and fearful cries of the young ones behind her. Oh God, what had they done? They had just as good as killed these poor children...
Gulping back her tears, Kaira turned her back on the Hole and gathered the nearest child, a little girl only 12 years old, to her chest, hiding her face and encouraging her not to look. She then closed her eyes tightly, and waited, unknowing if they would feel their death or be spared that horrific fate...
Several minutes passed, and she opened her eyes in confusion. They weren't dead... But she could see the bright light behind her, and she turned, sweeping the little girl into her arms and backing up. The station was falling to an unfamiliar world, blue and green much like earth but with far more blue. Turning, she raced for the center, knowing it would be the safest place possible and herding several children in front of her. They had to make it, for the sake of these young lives!
The impact was astounding and she thought she heard an odd noise from outside, almost a bugling sound. But that wasn't possible.... Then, she was thrown forwards, the young one knocked from her arms. She slammed into a wall, shifting in time to use her body to cushion a child's impact. Though pain blazed down her spine, she refused to black out, and she worked through it. She had to stay awake. Who know what this world held!
We have to get them out!
Huh? A female voice, in her mind? It sounded panicked, fearful, and the oddity of it alone kept her awake. They had to get out of here. They didn't know what would happen to the station...
She watched and waited, seeking to make sure that her students all continued to survive in this new world. She was told she's good to be a Candidate, but she was reluctant. The day of the Hatching came, and all was as it should be, though Kaira was oddly detached from it all. Then, chaos struck, when a Diamond King murdered his Pearl sister, causing the second Pearl of the clutch to bolt. Foolishly, Kaira stood in her way, and was severely mauled when the little one got caught in her robe, injuries that would have killed her. At her insistence, the Healers removed all of her lower leg, and half of her thigh as well, and she now begins the long process of healing and learning how to get around with only one leg.
